It’s been a hot minute since Idris Elba joined the ranks of Hollywood’s leading men, but once upon a time, he was just starting out — and his first wife, Hanne Kim Nørgaard (also known as Kim Elba) was with him for the start of his journey.
Speaking to Lee Bailey’s EurWeb.com, the typically private Kim revealed that she had no ill will toward her ex (via BCNN1). In fact, she pointed out that she had a feeling, early on, that he was destined for big things. Granted, she also shared that she never would have anticipated just how big a star he’d become. However, she said that from the very beginning, she was well aware that the life she’d lead with Idris would be anything but low-key. “I knew that what Idris wanted to achieve would take major sacrifices, so I held on for the ride,” she said. What’s more, even after their split, Kim believes it was for the best. “I am very happy with how things have turned out for us all,” she told the outlet.

As an aside, it’s just as well that Kim has always been so supportive of Idris’ career choices. After all, as their daughter, Isan Elba told Access Hollywood back in 2018, she’s an aspiring actor and filmmaker, herself.
